"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled Β«The Casque of AmontilladoΒ» [a.mon.ti.ΛΚa.Γ°o]) is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive β in this case, by immurement.
Edgar Allan Poe is also famous for such works as Β«The RavenΒ», Β«The Cask of AmontilladoΒ», Β«The Fall of the House of UsherΒ», Β«The Masque of the Red DeathΒ», Β«The Pit and the PendulumΒ», Β«The Murders in the Rue MorgueΒ», Β«The Tell-Tale HeartΒ», Β«The Gold-BugΒ», Β«The Black CatΒ», Β«The Facts in the Case of M. ValdemarΒ», Β«Hop-FrogΒ» and many more.
